Peter's Mum's Soda Bread Recipes: the comment thread

Folks,

A new wave of comment spam is passing through the Net at the moment, and because Peter's Mum's recipe is one of the most popular pages on our site, it's being targeted by comment spammers. As a result, comments on that page have been shut down.

But we're still interested in hearing from anybody who has questions about the recipe or the techniques in the video. This is where to post them.

Welcome!

Christmas Eve Soup (Stedrovecerna Polievka)

My dad came from Katlovce where the family looked forward to this soup every year. These days we look forward to the first Christmas Eve when some unsuspecting new in-law is served this soup. They are usually quite surprised by a prune staring back at them from a sea of sauerkraut and mushrooms!

1 small can sauerkraut
1 box pitted prunes
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
8 oz. can of mushrooms
sour cream

Empty sauerkraut into soup kettle and add 2 1/2 cans of water (using the sauerkraut can). Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add mushroons (don't drain can) and prunes. While this mixture is cooking, prepare the zapraska (the French call it "roux"). Mix flour and butter and fry in a skillet until a light brown. Add 3/4 cup water, beat until smooth, then mix with soup. Season to taste. Scoop sour cream into individual bowls when serving.
